Chapter 12 Milk Dumpling Poisoning



At the same time, the people who were watching at the door of Shuiguang Pavilion also discovered her figure.

Prince Jing's Mansion

"On this trip, you two just need to follow her and record her every move, and write down every word she says, okay?!" Yaoguang Jing looked very majestic in a navy blue robe and a golden crown!

I have to say, apart from the time when he was acting silly in the palace, his every move was quite intimidating!

Although the two did not understand why the second prince was so concerned about a woman, since their master had given the order, they dared not disobey.

So the two masters squatted on the roof of the brothel and kept watch.

Listening to the joyful singing and dancing and the wild sounds of "hmmmm" in the Riri Building, the two men's faces turned red but they did not dare to leave.

What a miserable life!

Qin Xuezhen had no idea that she was being monitored. She was still wholeheartedly teaching Shui Linglong, hoping to help her return to the top and take the position of the new Lady of Flowers.

As long as he could make Shui Linglong famous, she would be a celebrity in Baihua Street, and many bosses would hire him at a high price. Wouldn't it be easy to make money then?

So she personally taught Shui Linglong to sing songs, and also encouraged Shui Linglong to take out the money she had saved for many years and ask the madam to make changes to the hall of Shuiguang Pavilion.

Shui Linglong was reluctant at first, but after Qin Xuezhen's persuasion, she reluctantly took out all her savings.

"Miss Qin, can you really let me become Lady Baihua again?"

Qin Xuezhen held a pair of scissors in her hand, intending to alter a dance costume for Shui Linglong. Then, without even raising her head, she answered confidently.

"Of course, just trust me. I promise you'll be a big star, far more famous than you were back then."

With Qin Xuezhen's guarantee, Shui Linglong finally felt relieved. She had been silent for too long. How could someone who had witnessed glory be willing to be mediocre? So she was willing to take a gamble this time.

When the Second Prince learned that Qin Xue was really going to help Shui Linglong win the first place in the new Hundred Flowers Lady competition, he couldn't help but feel a little contempt in his heart.

"Is this woman crazy? Shui Linglong is already old. How could she let the other party take the lead?"

However, despite this, the second prince still did not dare to be careless. The two masters of light skills under his command continued to keep an eye on Qin Xuezhen day and night.

In the next few days, the emperor and the other two princes frequently came to see Yao Guangyue, wanting to hear Yao Guangyue's thoughts again.

At the very least, we need to know where the plague began, what solutions are available, and what role does that particular sect play?

It’s a pity that Yao Guangyue never mentioned the plague again because she was addicted to sleeping.

The emperor held Yao Guangyue in his arms these days and always felt that she was not in good spirits, and he felt a little uneasy. She was quite energetic a few days ago. Although she was sleepy, she was not drowsy all day long.

[My head hurts... lately, I feel uncomfortable and sleepy after eating.]

The little face was wrinkled into a ball, and the bright golden eyes looked a little empty.

Hearing Yao Guangyue's distressed thoughts, the emperor was completely worried. She felt sleepy after eating? Could it be that there was something wrong with the wet nurse?!

"Come here! Doctor Wen, please bring the wet nurse with you!"

At the emperor's command, the wet nurse and the imperial physician quickly arrived.

Doctor Wen knew how much the emperor valued the princess, so he didn't dare to delay and hurried forward to take her pulse.

"The pulse is normal, and there is no problem at the moment."

Then, Doctor Wen, who was already old, went to check the wet nurse again with the emperor's murderous look in his eyes, and he found something wrong.

The wet nurse's eyes and nails were faintly blue, which was clearly a sign of poisoning. If the wet nurse was poisoned, her milk must also contain toxins. It seemed that it was this milk that caused problems for the little princess.

Seeing that Doctor Wen's brows were getting more and more furrowed, the Emperor could no longer sit still and asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Is the wet nurse in any serious condition?"

Doctor Wen knelt on the ground in panic and apologized to the emperor.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I was so foolish that I didn't realize the little princess was poisoned."

When the emperor heard that Yaoguangyue was poisoned, his eyebrows suddenly jumped.

"Tell me in detail!"

"Your Majesty, the wet nurse was poisoned. The milk naturally contains trace amounts of toxins. The little princess has been nursing her milk for a long time. She may not notice anything at first, but she will eventually die in her sleep."

The emperor felt his temples throbbing and slapped the table. Looking at the auspicious sign from heaven in the baby's cradle, his imperial majesty was instantly revealed.

"Pass the order down. Thoroughly investigate the princess' poisoning. No one should slack off!"

Ever since the imperial concubine learned that her daughter was poisoned, she couldn't stop crying.

She hugged her daughter tightly in her arms and cried, "My dearest daughter, who could be so cruel as to attack a baby like you who was only one month old?"

Yao Guangyue forced herself to cheer up. This cheap mother was really good to her. Seeing that she was crying so sadly, she should give her some response!

So she stretched out her little hand and held the imperial concubine's fingers.

"My dear mother, please don't cry. Who else could have harmed me but the Queen? You should also be careful of Caique, who is by your side. Although we don't know who poisoned the wet nurse, she can't do without you."

"Back when we were in the cold palace, this Caique stole a lot of your jewelry, leaving us with no money to buy food. You had no milk, and I almost starved to death!"

After Yao Guangyue said this, she fell into a coma again.

The imperial concubine was stunned when she heard this, and the emperor immediately locked his eyes on Caique.

The imperial concubine never thought that Cai Que would betray her. She was the maid she brought from her mother's home!

However, as the saying goes, to catch a thief, you have to take away the dirty evidence. If you want to convict Caique, you still have to find solid evidence.

"Come here, pass on my decree. All the maids in the Imperial Concubine's palace are to be imprisoned and severely tortured. The person who poisoned the princess must be found, including the head maidservant beside the Imperial Concubine."

Aren’t the two senior palace maids beside the imperial concubine Caique and Xiyan?

When the two heard the emperor's words, Xiyan knelt on the ground neither humbly nor arrogantly and agreed to enter the inner prison, while Caique was actually frightened.

She knelt on the ground with a touching expression on her face, begging for mercy from the emperor, her eyes filled with tears, her red lips slightly bitten, looking pure and lovely.

"Your Majesty, please have mercy on us. We are all loyal to you!"
